Planned for completion in 2025, the project will involve the construction of a new subsea pipeline that runs from the Zakum West Super Complex to Das Island.

The scope of work also includes the construction, installation and testing of a new platform at the super complex and a new gas receiving facility at Das Island.

ADNOC expects the new pipeline to increase associated gas production capacity from the Lower Zakum field, which aims to produce 450,000 barrels of oil per day by 2025.

The increased field production capacity is expected to contribute to Adnoc’s gas masterplan to help the country achieve gas self-sufficiency and meet global energy demands.
